SANYO technology enables Eneloop batteries to enjoy very low self discharge rates compared to traditional rechargeable batteries. While normal rechargeable batteries lose their charge over time, SANYO's Eneloop technology enables these batteries to keep 85% of their charge over one year. No more constant recharging. Eneloop can be left in your digital camera or flashlight and will be ready to go when you are. Unlike traditional rechargeable batteries, Eneloop batteries are precharged and can be used immediately out of the package - no longer the need to go home and charge before use. Finally - the convenience of an alkaline battery in a rechargeable battery.
Features
Now you can forget all this. Charge the eneloop, whenever you have time for it and store them. The extremely low self-discharge of eneloop batteries saves you from all the charging stress.
When you use eneloop in your houshold equipment, spend some extra money and purchase a set of spare eneloops. Keep these spare eneloops stored in a charged state and you will always have fresh batteries at hand whenever you need them!
More Features Than Typical Ni-MH Batteries
The main advantages of Ni-MH rechargeable batteries exist also in the eneloop:
Approximately 4 time more shots than with alkaline batteries
High performance even at low temperatures (down to –5 °C) during your winter vacation
Rechargeable and therefore cheaper on the long run
Given these advantages, there are however also some disadvantages to typical Ni-MH batteries which made consumers reluctant to exchange their disposable batteries for rechargeables:
After purchase, rechargeable batteries have to be charged before they can be used.
Rechargeable batteries lose stored energy quickly
Continous/frequent charging ( without conplete discharge ) can destroy the battery
The charging process can take a long time and rapid chargers are expensive
All these negative attributes have one root-cause: self-discharge. Self-discharge means that a charged battery slowly discharges itself without any equipment consuming any current. This is the reason for rechargeable batteries being sold in a discharged state. And this is the reason that keeping charged batteries for some time did not make any sense--When you needed then, the energy was gone.
Immediate Use Like a Disposable Battery
Because the eneloop has a very low self-discharge, Sanyo can ship the batteries to retailers in a charged state. This means the consumer purchases a charged battery, which can be used immediately. The eneloop is therefore as user-friendly as any disposable battery.
